Need Prayer?

For Leading The Way, 2014 was a year of expansion. As we begin a New Year, let's praise God for all He did in 2014 and thank Him for what He will do in 2015:

In 2014, Leading The Way launched THE KINGDOM SAT, our 24/7 satellite channel, in Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation. Through a new partnership with a local Indonesian channel, we are able to broadcast our programs in the Indonesian language and follow up with viewers. We have already heard testimonies of how God is using this channel to draw viewers to Christ.

In 2014, Leading The Way began broadcasting in Sinhala, the language of Sri Lanka, and Japanese.Leading The Way now broadcasts in 24 languages, the most recent of which are Asian languages. Pray for God to use these dual-language programs to reach this region of the world and to open more doors to share the Word of God in Asia.

In 2014, our Help The Persecuted ministry grew exponentially.As the Syrian civil war led to one of the largest refugee crises in history and as the Islamic State advanced into Iraq, God grew our Help The Persecuted team and opened doors for Leading The Way to provide direct support to persecuted Christians in the region.

In 2014, we saw a huge advancement in our One Million Pocket Missionaries project after receiving a generous donation, allowing us to distribute 100,000 Navigator solar-powered audio devices with the Bible and Dr. Youssef's messages over the next 20 months. We are excited about this opportunity to reach hundreds of thousands more people with the Good News.

With your support, we were able to end the year strong and exceed our goal for the $500,000 Gift Challenge that took place in December. Thank you for your prayers and partnership in 2014 and your ongoing support in 2015!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for these new opportunities to share Your Word around the world. Guide the Leading The Way team as they produce new programs, follow up with listeners and viewers, and help the persecuted around the world. May each listener and viewer receive Your Truth and know Your love. We submit all these plans to You and commit ourselves fully to Your work in 2015, that You may be glorified. We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:3-6).

Leading The Way addresses the physical, financial and spiritual needs of persecuted Christians around the world through Help The Persecuted. We receive many requests for help and are prayerful about each one. Our Help The Persecuted board is presently considering recent requests and so many of our brothers and sisters in Christ have faced brutality in response to their faith in Christ.

One request is from a man who converted to Christianity and married a Christian convert and his fingers were subsequently cut off. He has requested funds for surgery. Another is from a convert who was tortured, burned and electrocuted for being a Christian. These are just a small sampling of what we have received.

We ask you to pray for God to strengthen and encourage all persecuted Christians and we also ask you to pray for wisdom for us as we consider these requests for assistance.

Leading The Way recently added our 21st dual-language is Tagalog, broadcasting Biblical Truth and hope into the Philippines. We continue to pray for our radio partners in the Philippines, as well as our brothers and sisters in Christ and all the people on this island nation. Our partners in the region have said our radio team are doing well, thanks be to God, but have sustained a good bit of damage and are without power. Please pray for God to provide all that is needed to restore power and continue the rescue and restoration work in the area.
